Chapter 1726: Chapter 1726: Faster Than Imagination

’Taoyuan’, and these series of events involving those ’people’, are completely unknown to Ji You and others who are currently trapped in the grid.

Ji You and Xiao You are busy producing materials, with Xiao You responsible for optimization and Ji You handling production. The division of labor between them is going well.

According to Ji You’s calculations, the content of this mixture only needs to reach about 5000 grams to destroy all the grid walls.

However, at her current production speed, it will take at least 10 days to complete. So, the time is still too slow. Who knows what unexpected events might occur in these 10 days?

Moreover, there’s a crucial reason: the spaceship’s stockpile of raw materials isn’t enough to produce 5000 grams of the mixture.

Therefore, they must find a way to improve the formula.

This task is entirely entrusted to Xiao You.

In the confined space, Xiao You is working hard. Her goal is not only to optimize the material configuration but also to reduce the production time by at least half, completing the task in 5 days. Five days should still be within everyone’s control. Even if something dangerous happens, they won’t be caught off guard, which could lead to disastrous injuries or even death.

Chu Jiaojiao and others are standing by the laboratory door. The mixture made by Ji You is immediately delivered by the robotic assistant to Chu Jiaojiao and others outside.

Chu Jiaojiao takes the mixture and asks the robot preparing to return to the lab, "Wait, I want to ask how Ji You is doing? Does she need any help?"

Handling and producing so many materials in such a short time must be exhausting, and she wonders how Ji You is holding up.

Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and others are a bit worried.

The robotic assistant responds in an orderly manner, "Please rest assured, Experimenter No. 4444’s body is very healthy and can work continuously for at least 3 more days."

Chu Jiaojiao hears this and breathes a sigh of relief.

Beside her, Yue Qiguang raises an eyebrow and says, "Unbelievable, Experimenter No. 4444, this idiot, even their Physical Strength has improved."

Shen Changqing adds, "Ji You’s physical Strength isn’t the best, but her endurance has always been good."

Back when they all took classes in the training room and conducted Strength tests, others could only muster maximum Strength for one or two strikes after a long buildup, and then couldn’t unleash it anymore.

Ji You was different; she could throw dozens or hundreds of punches, each one with increased Strength.

Ahem...

Though, her punches don’t even have one percent of others’ Strength.

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

Sheng Qingyan lifts his eyelids, his beautiful eyes glancing at Shen Changqing, and says, "Oh Aqing, don’t think that by saying it so mildly, people can’t tell you’re mocking the poor dead. If you don’t work hard, your Physical Strength will be worse than the poor dead’s in the future."

"Cough..." Shen Changqing’s clean and fair face instantly turns red. He clears his throat and tries to calm his emotions before saying seriously, "I wasn’t mocking Ji You."

[Really.]

Sheng Qingyan obviously doesn’t care whether it’s true or not. He looks at Shen Changqing, saying, "Later, oh, Aqing, when you’re on a mission with people, if you’re scared, just say something, so others can come and save you, oh."

Shen Changqing: "..."

Sheng Qingyan holds a special tube of mixture, saying, "Senior He Bi’s suggestion is for everyone to spray a little from every direction. We only have so many people, so everyone must continuously perform their tasks. This genuinely tests physical Strength."

Shen Changqing purses his lips, knowing the next words likely won’t be pleasant.

As expected——

Sheng Qingyan looks at Shen Changqing, Liu Fufeng, and Yue Qiyuan, saying, "You three have such poor constitutions, oh, don’t drag people down, oh."

Shen Changqing exhales lightly and remains silent.

Yue Qiyuan doesn’t have Shen Changqing’s good temper. He glances at Sheng Qingyan disdainfully and says, "Don’t worry, oh, I’m not teaming up with you, oh, afraid to be dragged down, oh."

Sheng Qingyan isn’t upset at all. Instead, he laughs heartily, almost lacking shape, saying, "That’s perfect, oh, we despise each other, oh, no interference, oh."

Yue Qiyuan feels a bit angered.

Liu Fufeng is sitting in a corner, quietly sewing little figures, not participating in the discussion, hence he completely takes Sheng Qingyan’s words as a breeze.

Then——

Chu Jiaojiao says, "Enough of you, don’t argue at the lab door. What if we disturb Ji You’s work?"

Speaking.

Chu Jiaojiao waves, saying, "Let’s go, according to our automatic team formations, everyone, continue working."

Soon.

The area outside the lab clears out completely, empty, with no one left behind.

Inside the lab.

Ji You is still at work, wholly absorbed, indifferent to what’s happening outside. Since her creation is useful, she must complete it as quickly as possible to lead everyone out of this cage.

Time silently passes.

He Bi leads Chu Jiaojiao and others, quickly spraying the mixture everywhere needed. The team works collaboratively, Chu Jiaojiao and Liu Fufeng in one group.

Shen Changqing and Sheng Qingyan in another.

Liu Fufeng and Yue Qiyuan in yet another.

And what about He Bi?

He Bi partners with Old Yellow Bull, yes, even Old Yellow Bull is mobilized at this crucial moment. Despite its reluctance, under the threat of the stinky bomb’s fascinating taste, it has no choice but to succumb. Everyone works together, swiftly spraying the mixture in all directions.

...

Then.

Through everyone’s silent efforts, one, two, three... hundreds, even thousands of grid compartments are breached.

After that.

More distant grid compartments also break under their continuous efforts.

In that moment, it’s as if mirrors are shattering all at once, creating a truly spectacular scene.

However, no one stays idle. Everyone gathers the grid pieces diligently. But although the grids are broken, they aren’t easy to collect; those melted by the mixture vanish immediately, while un-melted ones require effort to cut from the vast array.

Thus——

Everybody races against time, ignoring how much they’ve collected.

Once the mixture runs out, they return to the spaceship immediately to retrieve more from the lab.

They continuously repeat this process until, after an unknown amount of time, when they realize there are no more grid compartments ahead and everything around is empty, they suddenly snap awake——

Yue Qiguang can hardly believe it and, pointing at the unobstructed scene outside, says, "Wait, have we finished dealing with these grid compartments?"
